Flourishing age's Medical concubine

"Hmm?" Qin Zixu soon figured it out, and his face became more and more ugly. "You mean... The governor of Yuezhou colluded with the rich businessmen of Yuezhou to buy grain from other places and sell it at a high price?"

Qu Lianxing nodded, "Although there is a severe drought near Yuezhou, according to our information, the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, the Central Plains and Shuzhou have had bumper harvests in recent years. Last year, the imperial court allocated 3 million liang of silver for disaster relief. When the money finally arrived in Yuezhou, it was recorded as 2.1 million. All the 2.1 million was used to cooperate with rich businessmen and buy a large amount of grain from various places. However , after buying it back, it was not distributed to the people in Yuezhou for free, but sold at a price three times higher than the original grain price. Now the grain price in Yuezhou is more than five times higher than that in other places. "

"Bastard!" Qin Zixu was very angry. They, the children of rich families, did not dare to say that they had never done anything greedy for ink, but they all knew that everything should be measured. Xiang Yuezhou is a thing that forces the people to die, and it is also a way to find his own death. It makes the people miserable under his rule. Do you think no one can control him?

"Who is behind the prefect of Yuezhou?" Qin Zixu asked. He was just a prefect. I'm afraid he didn't have so much courage.

Qu Lianxing had a mocking smile on his lips and said, "Gao Yibo's house, and... The magistrate seems to be a disciple of Zhou Xiang."

Qin Zixu frowned and said, "I remember... Zhou Xiang is a clean man." although Zhou Xiang is a very annoying old man, he is not greedy for money and is not afraid of living a clean life. Otherwise, he could not have saved his life in the hands of the former Emperor.

Qu Lianxing said, "Zhou Xiang's honesty doesn't mean that his students are willing to live a hard life."

Qin Zixu nodded, "that's true. Princess, what are you going to do?"

Nangong Mo raised his hand and threw out a booklet. He said faintly, "if you have a red name on it, you will copy your family. Publish it immediately, and this year's grain tax will be reduced or exempted. In addition, issue a conscription order. Men between the ages of 18 and 48 are only voluntary."

Qin Zixu took it in his hand and locked his sword eyebrows. These three are very good, but when you think about them carefully, they all have great problems.

Seeing him like this, Nangong Mo was not in a hurry. He smiled calmly and said, "if you have any opinions, speak slowly."

Qin Zixu sighed: "I know the princess is very angry, but... As soon as we arrived in Yuezhou, we copied the rich families from all over the country. I'm afraid it would be bad for the reputation of Prince Wei and the princess. Besides, the grain tax is comprehensive. Since Yuezhou is exempted, Lingzhou and Jinzhou can't be spared. In this way, it's not good for us to fight these three places, but we have to bear a heavy burden. Finally... Yuezhou has no means to live, so we can recruit again ... who will plant the land? "No one grows the land. Where does the grain in autumn and the tax on the bright side come from?

Nangong Mo nodded, "Childe Qin is considerate, but... Look at the list. Not all people copied it. Only those who participated in raising food prices. Publish what they did together, and I'll see how many people dare to complain for them! As for taxes... It depends on how fast they attack cities and land in Junmo. We don't have to focus on these places, do we What? Yuezhou can't squeeze out any oil and water anyway. Why care about that little tax? As for the third... I don't need them to fight now. 150000 Taining guards are enough for Junmo to fight Jinzhou and Chenzhou. "

"What does the princess mean?"

Nangong Mo tapped the table and said, "you said... Obviously these places are guarding such a big river as the Lijiang River. How can they be short of water?"

"This... What does the princess mean?"

Nangong Mo said, "since the Lijiang River is not dry, I'll find a way to find water. Whether I open a river or dig a well, even if I carry water one by one, I'll plant this year's grain immediately! No matter how late it is, it's really too late this year."

Qu Lianxing looked at Nangong Mo and hesitated for a moment before he said, "open the river? I'm afraid it's too late now. Even if the people are recruited to open the river to divert water, it will take several months." Nangong Mo said: "the method is people's idea. In addition, it has spread far away from the edge of the Li River, and all the land has been cultivated and planted. How much is how much."

Qin Zixu raised his eyebrow. "Most of the land in good places along the river is owned by rich businessmen or officials and dignitaries." these people don't care whether they have a harvest or not in a year or two. They just don't plant it without water. As long as the land is theirs, who cares about the income of a few liang of silver per mu of land that year?

Nangong Mo sneered: "they'd better do as I say. If they don't like it, I'll let someone plant it for them."

Qin Zixu also understood the truth of using heavy codes in troubled times, nodded and said, "I'll let someone do it."

Nangong Mo raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. "It's hard for you."

Qin Zixu said with a smile, "where, it's the princess who should have a good rest. The princess hasn't rested since she arrived in Yuezhou." Nangong Mo smiled bitterly, "it's just that we don't come. Since we've arrived in Yuezhou, we can't make people's life more miserable?"

"The princess is merciful."

Qin Zixu and Qu Lianxing went out to do business. Nangong Mo had the time to stop and have a rest. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Now it's mid July. The weather in Yuezhou is really hot. Even sitting in a room with the window open is no different from sitting in a steamer. Even if Nangong Mo has internal power, he won't feel good.

Wei Junmo came in from the outside and saw her leaning back in her chair with a tired face. He paused before strolling over. As soon as he came in, Nangong Mo woke up, opened his eyes and smiled at him. "Finished?" although he had just won the Yuezhou City, the army had no time to repair, and would start again early tomorrow morning. At least take Jinzhou and Chenzhou before the imperial court sends reinforcements, so these two days are not only Nangong Mo's hard work, but Wei Junmo will only be busier than her.

Wei Junmo nodded and said, "I have something to tell Qin Zixu to do."

Nangong Mo smiled and said, "they are not busy outside now. Am I lazy in the house?"

Mr. Wei looked at the study and the files piled up on the desk in front of him and raised his eyebrows. Obviously, he couldn't agree with her. Lazy in such a room?

"I sent someone to prepare some ice, which will be delivered in a minute."

"Where did you come from?" Nangong Mo was curious. "Forget it. Now everyone is very busy."

Wei Junmo said calmly, "they don't need it in the future. Don't take it out and waste it."

Nangong Mo blinked and suddenly realized. It must be those rich businessmen who are going to be unlucky. At this time, only they can take out the ice in Yuezhou.
